AHuNpREp YEARS A HERO.
How Seth Warner Won a wife and
Became Famous

Colonel Seth Warner, of Vermont, the
famous hero of the Revolutionary war, was
a leading fighter for the Hampshire grants.
These titles were disputed by the State OF
New York. and its authorities obtained an
edict of the King of England In their favor
The settlers were stung ythe supposed IN
Justice. This state of things brought COLO
mel Seth Warner to the front. with Ethah
Allen and others he actively opposed every
effort of the New York State authorities to
enforce possession, and finally he, with Allen
and others. were outlawed and price put
on their heads!
To circumyept New York, it was neces-
sary that some one should go into that State
and gain required information. Colonel
Warner, assuming for safety the name OF
"Dr. Howard" undertook this perilous and
romantic journey.
While on his way home he stopped at
country inn, where an old gentleman ana
daughter were storm-bound. The iather
fell ill and the daughter called upon Colonel
Warner. who. with his wide knowledge OF
simple remedies, successfully treated the
ssold man." and he finally won this devoted
woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon III
those years. When the doctor was not easily
reached, months of sickness, and even HE
were often saved by some unprofessional
friend yersed in the use of simple herbs ana
roots. The health of early settlers and their
powers of endurance copvincelus that such
medicines did only good and left no poison
| in the blood to work as much Injury to the
system as would the disease itself
In time of peace the colonel was in con-
stadt demand for his knowledge of simple
remedies and their power over disease. But
| it was left to another of his name OF the pre-
sent age to give to the public.what was then
used with such positive success.
| Warner for over a hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration of
| the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to family Of
wide distinction; no less than eight members
| thereof won fame in the regular practice OF
medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people of
| this generation of the old time simple rem
edies, his direct descendant, ii. ii. Warner,
the well-known proprietor of Warmers safe
cure, for many years has been experiment
ing with cid time roots and herbs formula
| and, his search having been finally rewarded
| with success, he gives the world the result
These recipes and formula lin other days
accomplished greatthings because they were
purely vegetable and combined simply SO as
to cure the disease indicated, without in
Jury to the system. In harmony with theil
old time character, we learn that he proposes
to call them Warmers Log Cabin Remedies
using as a trademark an old-fashioneo
American log cabin. We understand thai
he intends to put forth ''Sarsaparilla' fol
the blood, the sarsaparilla itself being
but one of a number of simple anc
effective elements; 'Log Cabin Hops and
Buchu,' general stomach tonic ant
invigorator: LOG Cabin Cough ant
Consumption Remedy" Warmers Lol
Cabin Scalpine" for the hair; preparation
for that universal disease catarrh, called
LOG Cabin Rose Cream" Warmers LoI
Cabin Plasters;' and Warmers Log Cabin
Liver Pills." which are to be used in connec
ton with the other remedies, or indepen
IDENTIFY, as required
Warmers safe remedies are alread,
standards of the most pronounced scientiti
value in all parts of the world, and we hav
no doubt the Log Cabin Remedies, for TIL
diseases they are intended 10 cure, will be o
equal merit, for Mr.. Warner has the reputa
ton of connecting his name with no prepare
ton that is not meritorious.
